buddy programme for emerging artists and producers

CPH STAGE invites emerging artists and producers based in the Nordic region (Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway, Sweden, the Faroe Islands, Greenland and Åland) to apply for the EAP – Buddy Programme, a two-year professional development initiative designed to strengthen international networks, build industry skills, and provide guided access to major performing arts platforms.

The EAP programme supports early-career professionals by pairing them with experienced artists and producers who serve as ‘buddies’. Through shared activities, curated networking events, talks, and participation in CPH STAGE, the programme offers an inside pathway into the international performing arts field.
